    Tip at this place: watch out for "violent noises", described by an old, Low German report as "violent whizzing like a whirlwind and strong hail under the earth" 😳😨 😉 ...

    "Sinkholes are the result of millions of years of geological structures and modifications. The Icker Loch was created on April 22nd, 1782 in the middle of the road from Osnabrück to Hunteburg. After" violent noises "under the surface of the earth, a hole 15 m in diameter formed, which immediately filled with groundwater After two months it was 34 m in diameter and 40 m deep. "

    It was April 22, 1782. The earth sank at this point and a hole appeared in the ground that filled with water. For several days, earth continued to break off from the bank and fall into the pond.
